I think the best homage would actually be the 1st gen 2500 Omega Aqua Terras. They look very similar with the gorgeous black laquer dials and rhodium indices. They are stunning in person. All brushed bracelet, co-axial escapement, perfect proportions. A slightly toned down version of this new model. I owned one before and regret selling it.

My first watch I bought as an adult was an Armitron. The band disintegrated over the years, though I owe a lot to that watch. Thousands of miles on the bike, running, hours of workouts, camping, hiking and other adventures. I have a G-Shock now that I bought on sale at Wal-Mart. I would not hesitate to buy another Armitron.

FJB!!!

I love my reservoir supercharger . More people need to know about this brand

Hi. What is the difference between the G4 and G6? Thanks.

I'm still waiting on the summer blue homage 😂

You should not show other peoples faces on KZbin, especially not without their permission, especially especially not if they are children. It has no advantage whatsoever, yet creeps are everywhere.

Russian watches don't and won't exist for me since 2022. I gifted one Amphibia and sold an Amphibia and a Komandirskie. I agree with your first suggestion 100% and i add "and stay there". 😉

I wish it was not only unboxed, but also unwrapped. 😁

I have a 150 pieces watch collection. With in the collection I have 3 or 4 Armitron watches, even free drive with them no problem, great stainless steele. Still look new

You're not opinionated, you're an insecure knob.

I like the previous version more.

Erebus Ascent Black Enamel. And it may just be made by San Martin. 😊

The new Aqua Terra closely resembles the Christopher Ward C63 Sealander Automatic. Does that make the Aqua Tera an homage to the CW?

Whenever you think that there is no homage for a new hyped watch, just have a look at San Martin or Pagani Design - there is a high chance that it already exists.

San Martin already has a AT homage in a black dial

lets wait for the ali Gods to make one

SM will take care of them all

curious question, maybe for another video or it could be answered here. Does the current Sturmanskie watches use NOS Poljot 2609 movements, or is there an ebauche (movement) manufacturer making them now. If so, who?

You don't own the watch. You didnt handle it personally. You are reacting to a color. This is just a video for content.

For me its the addiesdive, love the duro but the addies is far better

Not even kidding, I ALMOST placed a bid on that exact Unimatic. Not sure what I didn’t, but that went for a lot lower than I thought it would have.

An Apple Watch or any smart watch for that matter is about as useful to me as wearing sunglasses at night... If I want to text, search the web, make a call or anything like that, I have an iPhone for that... if I want to know the time and/or the date I have a Casio for that.... I feel smart watches in general, are way overpriced and totally useless in my opinion.... I don't really even use the functions that my Casios come with, such as a stopwatch, timer, or alarms for that matter, I want them to just tell me the time or the date, not to mention, I like the rugged looks of the Casio... my favorite being the GD-350, great looking, durable, rugged watch.

Happy B-Day George!! Thanks for another video.

AD 2040 forever...

Ahh, Armitron: America's Watch. I work at a hotel, and have a six watch collection. I'm not even really a watch guy, I just caught the bug after building my first watch last year (Vostok Amphibia). Anyway, I did a wrist check on one of our guests the other night, and he was wearing a vintage Armitron, similar to the model in this vid. I'm 40 years old, and haven't seen an Armitron since I was a kid. We must have spoken for a good 20 minutes about that watch. It was so cool to see an Armitron in the wild after all these years. When it comes to watches, there is no point in being a snob. "Wear WATCH ya like" should always be the mantra.

Pobeda 39K Belonged to Dr. Genin who strapped it to Chernushka the space dog. That was the first watch in space. Sturmanskie powered by a 17 jewel sportivnie movement was the watched strapped to the first man in space: Yuri gagarin, cosmonaut

7:00 cut the 'being funny moments' out, you'll be able to do it in one day next time.

Nope, not a lie. If people are daft enough to spend large amounts of money for a watch then that is their problem The more homages the better, especially if they have quartz movements.

can you compare the San Martin SN017, SN019, SN084, SN0111 ? What's the difference? Which is the newest? Which is the best?

Very cool video brother 😊

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the mamacoo leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.

So I bought an Elgin watch the other day at walmart and I tried looking up on youtube new Elgin watches and there is literally nothing going on with Elgin, do you know what might be going on with this company today???

I've participated (and won) a couple auctions on eBay. They can be fun, but a little nerve-wracking as the end approaches. Great explanation, thanks!

❤❤

Just drop these comparisons in your cheap chinese watch commercial. Casio is untouchable compared to these simple copies.

Wow I just heard of Addiesdive and was checking out some videos on them. I'm blown away by how well the second's hand lines up with the chapter ring. It's aligned perfectly, where as even the Casio's seems to be landing just a smidge before the markers on the chapter ring. That's wild

Good compare n contrast vid. Subbed!

Ah, A Rolex deepsea rip off. I could personallu assemble one equally good from Ebay parts / Ali EAxpress parts for under $200 . IF I was paying $1000 I'd rather have a Doxa Sub 800!

My name is Lucas Araújo, a specialist in the field of watchmaking, today I'm going to talk about a subject that involves technical analysis for a dive watch, let's go! first the watch needs to meet a technical standard for the watch to be considered a diving watch it needs to have a screw down crown a rotating bezel 60 clicks or 120 clicks whatever the case needs to be at least stainless steel the indexes and pointer and markers need contain light, watertightness 200 meters or 660 feet, the case back must be threaded, the slide rule on the bezel isert contains numerical information to help the diver measure the time left in the oxygen balloon for him to decompress during high diving sea! 

Maybe a more weathered looking bezel and definitely ditch the high polish thanks for presenting

Yes, it is. Sort of. Because the branding (ridiculous name, unpleasant logo, stupid mention "diver's" on the caseback...) kills the Addiesdive for me. On the other hand, Casio Duro is just a very mediocre watch that too many people love to say they love. I dislike the stubby hands, the microscopic date and the aluminum insert. And the big hype 🤷‍♂️

I personally loathe aluminum inserts, no, it doesn't give the watch a vintage look, no, the many scratches on it are not memories or wabi-sabi or other excuses, they're just ugly scratches. The screws on the bracelet are indeed a PITA. All in all a nice homage, the sort you can get from AE or from microbrands at 1/3, 1/2 of the price of this one 🤷‍♂️ The scratches on the case are horrific, it's shocking how a watch reviewer (not you, i know) can trash a watch in such a short time 😲

1,000 dollars for a homage??????? i got a san martin for 160 and looks just as good

I have both watches= The ADDIESDIVE and the CASIO DURO and they are great watches.

Very 1800s kind of comment but ok.. 😂 pink can be cool in certain occasions my friend. Got a chill and adapt a bit.. has nothing to do with sexual preference or gender

casio is a company with a dark side the casio mdv-107 watch the caliber is the miyota 2115 on the case back the module number does not match the movement the module is only for digital watches 2704 this is the module number that shit on casio The public didn't expect this attitude from you

Casio Duro, one of the best bang for your buck, however too big for my 6.5 inch wrist & poor Lume, which imho should be a must on a diver. The Casio MRW is better for smaller wrists, but only has 100 m Water Resistance & frictional bidirectional bezel, I hydro modded mine & looks awesome now ✌️

Shill for Chinese dealer.

the Duro is to SMALL.I want a bigger one !
